I thought, he didn't need to come over he was here already.Wheresmeticket? said:
But there are people hereabouts who think he should have waited to come over to give JJ the sack in person...West2003 said:Having to wait for the owner to come over in order to appoint a manager is just bizarre. Imagine if Man Utd held off on naming Ten Hag because they had to wait for the Glazers to get through baggage reclaim at Manchester airport. Strange behaviour.0 -
said this week may be to soon to get a new manager in but we will have a new man in place in next two weeks … again TS on LinkedIn
also we are not interviewing for a DOF5 -
I'll be fucking livid if one wasnt.RedJohn said:all this Linkedin messaging, I decided to message him today, wow, he responded, and stated he HOPES that a new manager will be in charge with regard to the Spain trip,
In fact, I'm expecting a new manager to be announced before the week is out. Anything past that its verging on the ridiculous. To get the the start of pre season (16th June) without a manger would be criminal & the act of a madman or egotist.15 -

I note your "It's all done, just waiting for TS to fly over to announce" guess has quietly been dropped.4 - Sponsored links:

He is getting his info straight from Thomas, just 24 hours after everyone else, after its posted on here.Henry Irving said:

Hi, that was me, thank you for calling me a normal personVfrf said:Somebody on ITTV (normal person) messaged TS on LinkedIn who apparently said 'We will hopefully have a manager in place by the Spain trip'... That is June 25th. I should probably log off before I have an attack.
, I really do not know what is happening, TS clearly stated not long ago about learning lessons from leaving things too late, not sure if Garner is still in the frame after this remark, I am normally Mr. Positive with everything with Charlton, my positiveness is beginning to wane. 15 -

To be fair, there is a 24 hour delay on Colin's posts as they have to routinely go through the bullshit monitor.

My reading is that Ben Dover is going to be appointed next manager and he will be arriving directly on foot (DOF) from Chorley any day now. Hope that's right...Fumbluff said:

Not so good if BOTH the head coach and DoF leave at the same time thoughGarrymanilow said:LargeAddick said:
I can almost hear Thomas saying most of the things said there.Scoham said:
Though three directors covering negotiations, analytics, recruitment and appointing head coaches feels a bit much?Garrymanilow said:Knowing our luck it's probably completely unrelated but getting in both the DoF and the manager that put together a decent team at short notice would be a great move. It would also seemingly limit the amount of universe-level control that Martin apparently has, which would be hilarious given the months of wailing on here about it. You'd imagine if Gallen were also staying then we'd be looking at one who idenitifies the correct players and one who handles the negotiations from there, which would be good. It would also explain the delay in making the announcement. Interesting, possibly exciting stuff. (cue: Welcome Steve Evans)
Here’s what the Swindon OS said when they were appointed last year, seems Chorley ran recruitment and it was up to him appoint the head coach:
https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2021/july/new-director-of-football-and-head-coach-appointed/
'I want a director of football and head coach model rather than a traditional manager because I want continuity to run through the club. If the head coach moves on, the philosophy of the club carries on and the playing squad does not need to be a complete overhaul' is a pretty useful line. In many ways it just shows that TS needs to get better at communicating in a football way. Him talking about pressing being the best way to get promoted rubbed eveyrone the wrong way. If he'd said what the Swindon owner did then everyone would recognise it as a fairly typical model and think less about meddling and more about good planning
It's also interesting that while Garner leaving Swindon has been on the cards for a week, it's Chorley who jumped first. Even if Garner doesn't join us, it's hard to see him staying at Swindon now.

Meaning we have already & the job is now filled.
See. Easy to work out when you know how to read what's not being said.1 -

If Garner and Chorley come as bookends and Charlton are definitely not getting a DoF it could mean he’s (Chorley) coming in as something else, not coming at all, both he and Garner are going elsewhere either separately or together or Garner is coming in and Chorley is going somewhere else or Chorley is coming in and Garner is going somewhere else.Have I missed anything? With grateful thanks to Sir Humphrey Appleby.6

I think Colin has covered all those eventualities already - so I think that's a pretty good summary.

The OS says back for training June 16 and they’re going to Spain the following weekend. So the 18th?
Sounds like TS is taking his time to appoint the right man for the job. Would you rather he didn’t?5 -
Getting to the point where I'd prefer it if Bazini and/or Craig "The Dentist" Freeman got us wound up1

Just had another reply to a couple of questions
Unfortunately we can’t move it any faster. There has been so many top quality applicants this time compared to last time. We are getting close through and I agree the sooner the better for everyone so we can have a strong pre season.
Recruitment continues at full speed but agents are proving difficult as normal . A few positions look promising through
Thanks Thomas

I don't believe we've started looking at other coaching/managing positions yet.0

I really can’t wait to see who Thomas deems to be the best one of those……RonnieMoore said:Just had another reply to a couple of questions
